The '''Mark I powered exoskeletons''' were a precursor to the [[MJOLNIR]] [[armor]] project. | |||
The armor allows the wearer to run at over 32 KPH (19.88 MPH), lift two tons (4,409 pounds), and have a 30-millimeter (3 centimeter) minigun mounted on self-targeting armatures. They are equipped with [[motion sensor]]s and IR scopes. The armor is impervious to standard light [[weapons]]. Nine people in powered exoskeleton suits can easily hold their own against two or three [[platoon]]s of [[Marines]]. | |||
The model had to be scrapped and redesigned from the ground up for MJOLNIR. They consumed enormous energy. Either they had to be plugged into a generator or use inefficent broadcast power. Neither of these options were practical on a battlefield. | |||
They used units of these that were not scrapped as dock loaders or to move heavy equipment. Some were even used for mining, then thrown into storage on [[Reach]]. | |||
After their augmentation procedures, [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[Mendez]] ordered the trainers of the [[Spartans]] to use powered exoskeletons when in combat exercises with them. Otherwise, the training may have killed those trainers, as evidenced by [[Master Chief|SPARTAN-117's]] accidental killing of three [[ODST|ODST's]] aboard the ''[[UNSC Atlas]]''. The Spartans easily overcame the cumbersome armor, however. The armor just did not match up to the superior speed and stealth of the Spartans. | |||
